yarn version

apply a new version to the current package

Usage

yarn version <strategy>

Immediately bump the version to the next major :

yarn version major

Prepare the version to be bumped to the next major :

yarn version major --deferred

This command will bump the version number for the given package, following the specified strategy:

If major, the first number from the semver range will be increased (X.0.0).
If minor, the second number from the semver range will be increased (0.X.0).
If patch, the third number from the semver range will be increased (0.0.X).
If prefixed by pre (premajor, …), a -0 suffix will be set (0.0.0-0).
If prerelease, the suffix will be increased (0.0.0-X); the third number from the semver range will also be increased if there was no suffix in the previous version.
If decline, the nonce will be increased for yarn version check to pass without version bump.
If a valid semver range, it will be used as new version.
If unspecified, Yarn will ask you for guidance.

For more information about the --deferred flag, consult our documentation (https://yarnpkg.com/features/release-workflow#deferred-versioning).

Definition	Description
`-d,—deferred`	Prepare the version to be bumped during the next release cycle
`-i,—immediate`	Bump the version immediately
any single member of your team inside the same project - by doing this you
ensure that you have control over Yarn upgrades and downgrades (including on
your deployment servers), and get rid of most of the headaches related to
someone using a slightly different version and getting different behavior.

The version specifier can be:

a tag:
latest / berry / stable -> the most recent stable berry (>=2.0.0) release
canary -> the most recent canary (release candidate) berry (>=2.0.0) release
classic -> the most recent classic (^0.x || ^1.x) release
a semver range (e.g. 2.x) -> the most recent version satisfying the range (limited to berry releases)
a semver version (e.g. 2.4.1, 1.22.1)
a local file referenced through either a relative or absolute path
self -> the version used to invoke the command

Definition	Description
`—yarn-path`	Set the yarnPath setting even if the version can be accessed by Corepack
`—only-if-needed`	Only lock the Yarn version if it isn’t already locked
